Our Smiths (Kroger) Shopping Trip Results 9/19 with Coupon Matchups So You Can Get the Deals Too

We also went to our local Kroger affiliate – Smiths.  I stopped by there last week with an unplanned trip and spent more than planned, but this was the originally planned trip. There is a savings event going on where for every 10 qualifying items you buy, you save another $5 (essentially .50 each item).

Here’s what we bought:

• 1 16 roll pack of Angel Soft toilet paper sale for $4.99. Then used .50/1 from the 8/14 Red Plum Insert = final is $4.49
• 2 Annies Organic Mac and Cheese sale for $1.00 each = $2.00. Then used $1.00/2 from Kroger mailer = final is $1.00 for two or .50 each
• 4 Oral B toothbrushes on sale for $1 each with a raincheck from a previous sale = $4.00. Then used four $1.00/1 from the 8/28 PG Insert – $4 = final is FREE
  
• 1 Reach floss sale for .95. Then used $1.00/1 Kroger Catalina from previous transaction = final is FREE plus .05 OVERAGE

• 2 packs of Kroger Cholrine Free natural diapers sale for $5.99 each = $11.98. Then used two $2.00/1 catalina coupons from previous transaction – $4 = final is $7.98 for two or $3.99 each
  

Items from the save extra $5 event.

• 10 Smart Water sale for $1.00 each = $10. Then received $5 instant discount = final is $5 for 10 or .50 each
• 10 GoGurt sale for $1.99 each = $19.90. Received a $5 instant discount = $14.90. Then used 5 .75/2 from the 9/11 General Mills insert – $3.75 = final is $11.15 for 10 or $1.12 each

Summary: The total AFTER the sales but BEFORE the coupons was $77.71. We then used $19.30 in coupons, which makes our new total was $58.41 for all of the above.

It wasn’t the best shopping trip ever, but it was all things we wanted and like, so that is what counts! Love, love the blue corn chips!

There are many things on the extra $5 savings event sales, this was just all we wanted, or that was in stock at our store.  See the store deals to find even more grocery store matchups and more of the items included in the $5 instant savings!
